Ifill Graduate Student Fellowship

Each year, Simmons offers a number of fellowship positions that allow graduate students in the Gwen Ifill School of Media, Humanities, and Social Sciences to gain valuable research and/or experiential learning. Graduate Fellows benefit from significantly reduced tuition as a result of either a generous scholarship or tuition remission. Graduate Student Fellows also generate an income through the wages or stipend they earn in their paid fellowship positions.

Fellowships require a separate application for consideration. Some are available to incoming students and others are available to current students. Each position is different and may include a scholarship applied to your account along with a paid position. International students are eligible for fellowships and assistantships. Please note that fellowships and assistantships alone will not cover the entire cost of tuition or other educational expenses.

Types of Fellowships
